What starts off as a tale of digital fame quickly spirals into something far more intense, revealing just how much our identities can become tied to the screens we stare at. In an honest and moving performance, Babil Khan conveys the terror, panic, and doubt felt by a person whose virtual world starts to fall apart. With screenings at prominent events such as the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne and the River to River Florence Indian Film Festival, the film is already garnering interest internationally. It premiered on ZEE5 Global on April 18, 2025, and it’s being praised for its fresh take on a problem we’re all familiar with—phone addiction and the pressure of always being online.

At its core, Logout is a wake-up call. It asks us to pause and think: how much of our lives are we living for real—and how much for the ‘likes’? It’s not just a thriller; it’s a reflection of the times we live in.
